It's an axiom of management that came into my head while taking a walk. Not that I'm managing anyone or anything but myself here!
Two dimensions: capable and willing
Team members may be:
-
incapable and unwilling
-
capable and unwilling
-
incapable and willing
-
capable and willing
The goal is to get all team members to the capable & willing stage. Which means spending time coaching those who are incapable and willing. And motivating those who are capable and unwilling.
I think there are a lot of anons (speaking of digital warriors in general, on all platforms) who are willing, but incapable โ because they don't know how to proceed, they have some skills but are afraid to use them, they don't know how to set their intention firmly on a goal and then pursue that goal relentlessly, etc.
I never was a manager, but they did send me to some management classes and I was a team leader for a substantial part of my career. My personal leadership style was to lead by example and display a lot of enthusiasm!
As a self-directed writer, you are one of the think-tank elite who has conquered both quadrants, both capable and willing. Because you can see what is ahead of us, and how to advance the cause!
